About this trial

Methods: This three-year experimental study is divided into two phases. In the first phase, a mixed-methods approach will be used. During this phase, a mobile application based on the Career Planning Model will be developed, followed by a pilot study to perform user testing and evaluate usability. The second phase will employ a prospective, double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, utilizing the nursing career planning application developed in the first phase for a six-month intervention study. A total of 108 senior-year nursing students (54 in the intervention group and 54 in the control group) will be invited to participate inthe study.
